Many mechanics are now using LPS-2 which is a penetrant and solvent 
based grease for corrosion proofing aircraft. Works on cars too.  You do 
this in the summer though as the thing is going to set there and "DRIP" 
for several days.  They don't drip near as much in the winter, but come 
the first nice, really warm, spring day and you open the hangar (or 
garage) door to find a real mess.
